Few people know about the kyanite gem stone and it is often mistaken for a good quality blue sapphire gem stone. If you are considering getting a kyanite ring or some other piece of kyanite jewelry, you should be aware that the gem stone is far less sturdy and durable as compared to a sapphire. While kyanite is available as blue kyanite and green kyanite, the blue color is more common for this gem stone.

Kyanite is a gemstone that you will rarely encounter in the typical jewelry store. Most people have not heard of kyanite as it is infrequently used in jewelry. It is an "exotic" gem. Perhaps that is what makes it so interesting?
